The Report is halfway through a two-week break and I’m killing the last hour or so before a three-day weekend reading some of my favorite blogs. Here’s my favorite Q&A from the Publishers Weekly interview with Stephen on his upcoming book, I Am America (and So Can You):

Upside down and backwards
“Oh yeah, the wrist.”
Religion clips on the Report have been a bit scanty in the past month, but now Stephen asks God how to find meaning in his broken wrist as he gets ready for the cast to come off.
